There will be something in the pipeline they are working on because the type of guy Gerrard seems to be, he wouldn’t have accepted the job if he didn’t fancy a proper crack at it. We’re only at the second week in May so there is still time.

King threw a few grenades in last week and it makes interesting headlines. But it’s actions that are required at Rangers rather than words.

King will surely know himself the side needs strengthened in every department. Gerrard needs to start with the spine of the team and build out from there.

I’ve got to say I was hugely impressed by Gerrard at his unveiling. There was a stature and aura around him and he was note perfect with everything he said.

This is a guy who has worked under severe pressure and huge demands all of his career and when he was asked about coping with massive scrutiny at Rangers he said, ‘Bring it on’.

That’ll do for me.

He’s got a big job on his hands but he sounds like he’s up for it.

The challenge for the players already at the club is to show they deserve to be part of it. There’s some of the squad worth keeping and others that will more on.

I think the likes of Jamie Murphy have shown they would be worth turning in to permanent deals and the same goes for Jason Cummings.

He’s been a bit stop-start since he arrived but you can see his qualities and he’s the kind of player you’d want in the squad.

Tuesday night at Pittodrie ended the debate about Ross McCrorie’s best position. He’s had his struggles at centre-half but I really like him in the middle of the park.

He brings an energy and he’s got a presence. The young lad was superb in the second half against Aberdeen and he really dragged Rangers back in to the game.

His goal summed up his display. McCrorie was the one man who was determined to make that ball his and that kind of desire won’t have gone unnoticed by the new management team.

I’m sure he has a big future at the club and in general I’m already excited about next season and looking forward to seeing the changes Gerrard makes.

This campaign is not done yet though. I must admit, saying second place is an achievement is something that sticks in my throat.

As far as I’m concerned second’s not acceptable for Rangers.

That said, when you look at all the turmoil at Ibrox this season, I would be absolutely delighted with second place.

It’s strange to even say it because it was always about being No.1 for me but you have to take in all that’s gone on this year.

Rangers are guaranteed of Europe and to finish runner-up would be the icing on the cake. Winning at Easter Road would allow the club to close the book on a difficult season and go in to the summer on a positive note.

That’s what I would be saying if I was in that Rangers dressing room this weekend. Go out and finish on a high. I would be ready to go to war against Hibs.

Forget about what’s happened in the past or what is going on elsewhere. You’d fancy Celtic to beat Aberdeen so it will be up to them to go out and grab the three points.

It will be interesting to see the reaction from them after Neil Lennon tore strips off them in midweek. Hibs have done brilliantly this season but that was probably the worst I’ve seen them this season.

It could go one of two ways. They might go out all guns blazing or they could down tools.

Rangers need to take care of their side regardless but the challenge is to go out with a bang and then everyone can look forward to a watching Steven Gerrard get to work over the summer.
